Over the years, we've been treated to some pretty crazy causes of injury for footballers - Jerome Boateng being injured while Manchester City after being caught by the air hostess' trolley on a plane being one of my favourites.
However, it's not got a patch on the latest bizarre injury story, which comes from Scotland.
Queen of the South's third-choice goalkeeper, Sam Henderson, has hurt his shoulder after being struck by a runaway cow on his dad's farm.

Their regular No.1, Alan Martin, is out injured, so Jack Leighfield took his place in between the sticks for the 1-1 draw against Morton on Saturday, with 19-year old Henderson getting the call-up from the youth team and sitting on the bench.
Henderson was poised to remain as the club's second-choice goalie for the Scottish Championship game against Dunfermline this weekend but is a doubt after suffering the surprise but serious-sounding injury.
As quoted by the Daily Mail, assistant manager Dougie Anderson had the following to say:
"Sam has missed training this week after being struck. It could have been worse as the cow ran at him for a second time but he managed to get out of the way.
"He has a sore shoulder so he is getting closely monitored and a lot of treatment as we do not want to go into the game without a goalkeeper on the bench."
